Using the given equation y-3 = 3/4(x+2)
Give Y a value and then solve for x:
If y = 0 the equation is now:
0 -3 = 3/4(x+2)
Solve for x:
-3 = 3/4x + 1.5
-4.5 = 3/4x
x = -4.5 / 3/4
x = -6
So the first point would be (-6,0)
Now make x 0 and solve for y:
y -3 = 3/4(0+2)
y-3 = 0 + 1.5
y = 4.5
So the 2nd point would be (0,4.5)
You are close, but the dot you have on y=4, needs to be moved up to 4.5.
This means making the fraction reduced to its lowest term
example=
make the fraction 18xz/4z simpler
the z cancels each other making it remaining 18x/4
2 can go in x as in 18
=9x/2
so the simpler form of the fraction 18xz/4z
=9x/2

A1 = (h (a + b)) / 2
A1 = (21 (17 + 32)) / 2
A1 = (21 x 49) / 2
A1 = 1,029 / 2
A1 = 514.5 mm²
[2]
A2 = (b x h) / 2
A2 = (11 x 9) / 2
A2 = 99 / 2
A2 = 49.5 mm²
[3]
The area of the shaded region =
A1 - A2 =
514.5 mm² - 49.5 mm² =
465 mm²
The answer is 465 mm².
